We flew with her husband to Israel, traveled many cities (I will write about it below), but stopped in the city of Ashdod visiting my sister. Flight Vladivostok-Moscow-Tel Aviv (Bengorion). The cost of tickets to Moscow is 12,000 per person (fly 8 hours). From Moscow to Tel Aviv for two $ 550 (fly 4 hours). Tickets were ordered for a month, so cheaper. Visa to Israel is no longer required. But the main thing is to take a ticket immediately back and forth, there is very hard control. We flew for 14 days.
We ordered all excursions on the Internet. They tried to take on coupons - there are also there :) If you pay for a specific credit card, then there are additional discounts on entertainment. Or one + one (i.e. one ticket as a gift).
Were in the Safari Zoo - 30 km from Ashdod. We went by sister's car for about 40 minutes. The cost of 640 rubles per person (1 ruble = 10 shekels). Animals are diverse, the park went around all day, we made a sea of photos. There is even a panda. Follow delighted.
Superland amusement park 30 minutes away in Rishon Lezion. The cost of 109 shekels per person. (But would have been ordered via the Internet for 98 shekels). Very many children's attractions. Huge turns on the American slides, I was pregnant then only my husband rode. He is impressed.
With the excursion group, we went on an excursion to the north of the country. Were in the city of Haifa, Nazareth and in the Bahai Gardens. We left at 7 in the morning and returned at 5 pm - the bus takes and landing the stop at home. I really liked the excursion, it is interesting to tell, they went around all the historical places, the Bahai Gardens are chic, there should be to go there. It is a pity that they gave little time in the photo, there was not enough time to turn around. Cost per person 155 shekels.
Were on the dead sea, also by car - 2 hours drive from Ashdod. The temperature of the air on degrees 15 is higher than in the city, then there were about 40. In the sea, people just immediately enter, and the water pushes them. If you shake on the day before, it will pinch the whole body. After the Dead Sea, I had warts in my arms. With sea, many hotels, people ride treat skin diseases. Many people with psoriasis met there. From the sea you go and immediately run under the shower on the shore - there are many of them there, wash off salt. In medicinal purposes I liked it, my husband is delighted, but the sea consistency itself is nasty, like mucus. The head of the head is also hurt, the dead sea is below sea level of 400 meters (I do not remember exactly the exemplary digit), i.e. Pressure low .. The road is heavy and unpleasant. Around the rock and nor soul.
We went to my move in Jerusalem - an hour of driving, parking 40 shekels. To walk a lot, for a long time, very tired, but they went around all the holy places, I was impressed by the wall of crying and the temple of the Globa of the Lord.
The air temperature in Ashdod ranged from between 25 30 degrees. Already then we bathed in the near sea - 30 minutes walk from the house.
I was left under the impression of Israel and return back there. Palm trees, sea, greens, sun. Better any resort. The attitude of people is so friendly that you want to be friends with everyone. All people under the supervision of the state. I did not meet any grandmother in the handkerchief. All modern in T-shirts and breeches. Disabled independently move around the city on the wheelchairs of electronic. All sidewalks with special courses for disabled. Elevators even in low-rise buildings. (We lived in a 4-storey house). Motorists are all calm, everyone complies with the rules, the car stops 10 meters from the pedestrian crossing, a person can not even look at the road. Walking at night calmly and nice.
